Very Long Observed Tail
Discovered by UK scientist, Yuji
Hyakutake, comet Hyakutake's tail has
been measured at 570 mill ion Km or 354 mill ion miles
long.Comet Hyakutake
sl ipped out of view on May 06 1996 and
will not return for another 29,500
years.http://thelongestlistofthelongeststuffatthelongestdomainnameatlonglast.com/lon

Does larger comet impacts crack the Earth’s surface
like western Canada?

North AmericaVolcanic Rocks
Do glacial periods cause volcanic rocks in a pattern around Hudson Bay? No.Courtesy: USGS

Do glacial periods cause sedimentary rocks? YesCourtesy: USGS

Are there other impacts during the same occurrences?Can the “hot spot”, Hawaii be from the same swarm?
Is the Iridium in the Yucatan from the same impact?

It seems the entire North America continent appearsto be covered by a muddy
slurry of ice, comet tailings and waters?
